i have the hyzor on my wifes van and only have tested it in town with
about 3 mpg increase,i will make a road trip shortly and check it and if it does not produce the way i want,i'll try out a smack,which is setting on the bench going thur test.now lets ask you some questions,what type of car do you have?do you have a efie?is your o2 sensor a afr?what size engine do you have?these are all questions you have to answer in order to get some answers.all of us that are building systems have had to go thur the pain of no results,low results an so on but someone on this site will have a answrefor you or direct you to a site that will.good luck and ask the right questions and you will get answers.one more thing,most v8"s really need 2 cells ,so if you answer the questions i ask you will get answers.i went thur the same thing and i am still testing and i am sure others are looking for the perfect system too.
My friend made the smack, cost a lot too make and did not work well at all, if you try it please post your results thanks.
the cost was in him buying the electric wall backing unit from the store.
Just made one now using very thin stainless steel 6 in total, width about 3 and a half inch, height 6 inch, but its not exact science, the total left one is neg then 4 plates in middle with just thin rubber spacers (nothing connected) then on the right the positive wire, using a glass 1 liter jar with Araldite glue to seal the tube and wires, i used a piece or thin rubber to stop the wires fraying on the metal lid, and made a good seal also used plastic tie wrap to hold it all together, it works well producing 1 liter per minute, however when i run the car the fuse blows, will try heavier flex cable, I used caustic soda, this was on the same principle as the smack system, the metal was obtained from a metal shop just scraps cheap.

RE: whats the best kit to buy and the results please, second request.
As you can see, by the answers you are recieving, that's a difficult question to answer. Most experimenters have only purchased one kit, or set of plans, then if they are really serious, they expand from that, with their own ideas.
You could do as I did; I purchased the Water4Gas ebooks, and started from there. As soon as I read the instructions, I realized that there was much improvement needed. I increased the length of the windings by about 300% and installed more realistic fittings. I now get excellent production of HHO, and am getting great mpg results.
In essence, what I am saying is; only you can be the judge of which is the best kit for you to purchase.
KEEP THE DREAM GOING!!

I'm Happy getting more replies this time, in Essen's i don't think (any kit) at a low price works well, even water for gas has very poor results and diy kits posted with instructions don't work well.
I found that the more plates you put in the higher draw on the amps you get so you cant win, it would be nice if someone got it all sorted and posted some pictures of the plate setup for us to see.
many claim great mileage but its only words, don't be offended by this, it would be nice to go a stage further and explain how you did it.
I'm running tests right now, built my own but with the same results as the $180 one I purchased, there is still a problem with overheating and blown fuses, any tips on this issue would be helpful, if i find the perfect answer I will post all my results with pictures.
Please keep this thread open and pop in with any questions or answers, thanks for all the replies to date. Interat.

The spiral wound variety is not very productive only because the wires (316 L grade stainless steel) are usually not wound close enough to one another to create the electrical field necessary for HHO production also these units draw much less amps so more units must be used for the system to work. I plan on using 6 of the 16 0z. mason jar type, the wiring scheme are as follows, wire the units in two rows of three in series parallel. The units will use between 6-7 volts and should draw between 6 - 10 amps depending on the electrolyte concentration, they also run a lot cooler than the others on the market making them safer. Oh yeah they are cheap to make, the stainless 316L is fairly expensive though. One other thing you must use is pulse width modulation (from your DC source) with these units or you are wasting time and money, remember don't be afraid to run 4 or 6 units, often times the amount of gas provided by these kits is insufficient to provide the increase in internal combustion efficiency desired and the wires are too far apart for them to produce adequate quantities of HHO gas.
Good Luck,
Mark thanks, could you send me some pictures of your genarator, its hard to figure out in type only. Interat.

I FOUND THAT BY DILUTING THE SOLUTION YOU GET LOWER AMPS. THEN AGAIN YOU NEED A COUPLE OF EXTRA BOOSTERS AGAIN. TRY TO CONNECT THEM IN SERIES AND / OR PARRALEL.
